Q: WHAT DO TERMITES LOOK LIKE?
Termites can cause major structural damage to Georgia homes and other buildings as well as wooden furniture, outdoor play sets and wooden yard items. Finding termites inside your Georgia home usually means that you are already in the midst of a full blown termite infestation. You can identify termites through their body shape, legs and wings. A common mis-identification is when a winged ant is mistakenly identified as a termite. A winged ant has a narrower waist similar in stature and shape to a wasp. Termites also have soft bodies without external armor or plating. Termites also have 4 equally sized wings where winged ants have a larger front set of wings vs their back wings. The images below will help you more easily identify whether the pest is actually a termite or a winged ant.
Termite Control Facts:
- Termites display a caste system of organization: worker caste, soldier caste, and reproductive caste.
- Worker termites are physically and sexually immature males and females that make up the majority of the colony.
- Worker termites have many duties within the colony: locate & colonize food resources, excavate, repair & build galleries (shelter tubes), feeding, grooming and caring for the young termites within the colony.
- The soldier termites are physically and sexually immature males and females whose primary job is colony defense.
- Soldiers are easy to identify by their enlarged, yellowish-brown head and black mandibles (mouthparts) that they use to destroy enemies.
- Soldiers along with the worker termites are wingless and blind.
- The reproductive caste are the adult winged termites (called alates) also known as “swarmers.”
- These reproducers are identified by their two pairs of wings of equal length, lack of a pinched waist, and straight/slightly curved, not bent antennae.
- The reproducers job is to find a mate, reproduce and begin a completely new termite caste system.
- Termites in Georgia cause more monetary damage than Tornadoes and fires combined
